I am in the middle of creating an Opus Flex web site. I have a Frame object which contains a number of other objects (text, images and shapes) some of which are outside the boundaries of the frame. I am therefore using a scroll bar object to scroll frame up and down. Works fine in preview mode but does not work when published. :(

A text box with scroll bars works both in preview and published - is it the case that scroll bars just don't work with a frame in a flex publication or is there some workaround?

Advice and comments much appreciated!

After chewing the problem over I have come up with a solution - not ideal I have to say but it works.

I have created two frames with the objects in an inner frame. The inner frame in bigger than the its container (the outer frame) and the buttons scroll the inner frame up and down. I used scripts to move the inner frame up and down (still needs a bit of work to stop the inner frame going any further when the bottom or top is reached).

In order to move the page up and down the user needs to continually click one of the buttons. Ideally I would like the user just to hold the button down and the page to scroll (as a normal scroll button would), however, I have tried various loops, whiles, conditions to no avail (save causing the program to freeze :D ). I am sure this can be done - I just don't know how to :?
